Ingredients

• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks, sliced thinly Green onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, and sliced green onions until evenly mixed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
